like YOhio, I saw the new Pixar yesterday. Enjoyed it. People can commence the inevitable "ranking Pixar movies" discussion once they see it and decide that they liked it more than cars or monsters university but not as much as incredibles or finding nemo.

I saw Inside Out as well. It was okay but it was no Toy Story. Animation-wise it felt like more of a 2D cartoon than a 3D animation, but that's obviously a stylistic choice. Also, while the concept was okay, I really don't think this is a show that will resonate or grab the attention of younger kids like Toy Story or Monsters."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

I tried to convince my kids that after Lava it was time to leave but they wouldn't come with me.
Maybe my expectations for Inside Out were too high based on the 98% on Rotten Tomatoes but I thought it was just OK.

Plus everyone knows that DDD lies on the chick movie side of the spectrum- he's very Mark Grace that way. So if you are craving a rip-roaring violence fest, best not to takes his advice.
Speaking of Mad Max, I could never figure out how, in a future where gas is so precious, that gas guzzlers abound. Wouldn't someone come up with an electric car? Or corn fueled car.

My cinematic interests range across the spectrum of violence. Like you, I have enjoyed everything from Bourne to porn. I just thought (and clearly was correct) that Max was mostly hype and nowhere near as good as everyone, including myself, desperately wanted it to be.
i liked inside out although it was not close to being my favorite. I find it interesting the it is being promoted as "the best Pixar movie since Up." Is Up the new line of demarcation between good Pixar and bad Pixar? Some of the concepts about thought and memory, while cleverly presented for adults, will lose kids. The shortcut through the abstract, for example. Kids won't understand that and that is ok. This movie didn't seem to have some of the memorable Pixar music that often accompanies each movie....a signature song or a catchy tune. I was a little confused by the choice of "disgust" as a primary emotion to the exclusion of other possibilities and also found myself at times checking out the mom's butt. There were a couple of shots where it looked pretty good.Last edited by TripletDaddy; 06-21-2015, 07:52 AM.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Inside-Out. Super high marks for originality. Not so much (but still above average) for execution. I loved the concept behind the child's memory. Coming from computer animators, it was probably second nature to map out an algorithm how memories are stored and modified. I thought the story fell a little flat, and that I didn't love any of the characters like I did in some of the better Pixar movies. But still, I couldn't prevent the salty secretions from my eyes in some of the more tender moments. Whatever algorithm those guys use to portray some of life's universal touching moments, it sure works.
How to rank it DDD? I sift Pixar movies into terciles. For me, Inside-Out is hard to pigeon hole. I'll say it straddles the 'excellent' and 'average' terciles."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.
